Blue Bayou

Linda Ronstadt

Original lyrics by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson





~~*~~





I feel so bad, I got a worried mind

I'm so lonesome all the time

Since I left my baby behind

On Blue Bayou


Saving nickles, saving dimes

Workin' till the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou


I'm goin' back someday

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where those fishin' boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be


Gonna see my baby again

Gonna be with some of my friends

Maybe I'll feel better again

On Blue Bayou


Savin' nickles, savin' dimes

Workin' till the sun don't shine

Lookin' forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou


I'm goin' back someday

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be


Oh that boy of mine

By my side

The silver moon

And the evening tide

Oh some sweet day

Gonna take away

This hurtin' inside

Well I'll never be blue

My dreams come true

On Blue Bayou

This one is for you, Mom.


I love you.

I miss you.
